Good Eats

I believe there is an episode based on substitute ingredients. I don't think that they mention replacing onions, but it could lead you in the right direction.

glad to hear about someone else who in onion phobic. I am not allergic, just can't stand them. people are very unsympathetic. "How can you not like onion?" it's very easy to not like them, not so easy to avoid them. I would love to hear about some alternates to using onions, too.

Oh..cause he said the science of it made sense to him where normal cooking did not

My husband did that with the pepper grinder...I laughed SO hard! He watches Good Eats with me and I watch Star Trek with him.....its a fair trade!

My dad taught me that a long time ago. He said they did it on the Navy ships since the coffee stayed on for hours and would get very bitter if they didn't put the salt in it. I still do it.

Wrong show buddy, try Paula Dean.

Call it "What's good for the gluten's good for the gander"

You could always use the substitutions found in Sub Standards in a recipe found in Dr. Strangeloaf.
